Abstract

This research prepared polymer blend contains from epoxy resin (Ep) and polyurethane
)Pu) as a matrix material of percentage (90 %) from epoxy and ) 10 (% polyurethane and
reinforced by PVC fibers and aluminum fibers two dimension knitted mat with fractional
volume(15 %), and study impact strength before and after reinforcing at temperatures of
(20,40,60(
o
CØŒand the results have shown that the reinforcing matrix materials by fibers
increased impact strength values that rise from(3.387kJ/m2) to (151.62kJ/m2) of composite
material (Ep+Pu+PVC(and thus ) Ep+Pu+PVC+Al.F) at last (Ep+Pu+Al.F (. following
composite material so that temperatures increase led to rise impact strength values except the
polymer blend reinforced with PVC fibers that the temperatures increase led to decrease the
values of impact strength from (151.62kJ/m
2
(at (20°C) to (114.27kJ/m
2
(at (60°C)
